@ SCJ....

I got up at 6:30am to get ready for the airport to come home. Manny slept hard and well, I was so relieved. I was just about to call Eli at school to let him know we were for sure coming home, and then Manny woke up crying and I noticed the rash was lighter but was spreading up his face. He wouldn't stop crying. What to do. Many decisions needed to be made and quickly. Pictures and emails to Lewin while I called Southwest to figure out my options. Called Nate, Uncle D and work. Needless to say, I am at SJC and flying down to LAX :( We had to fly out the door (my hair isn't even brushed) and we will see Dr. Lewin this afternoon and go from there.

Thank you to Charlie from Southwest who helped me through a quick nervous breakdown cancelling and rebooking flights. Manny asked me why I was crying and I said, mistakenly, because I was hoping to go home. Then he started bawling "It's all my fault. It' s all my fault." Mother of the Year, right here, ladies and gentlemen.

Nate is going to talk with Eli at school soon. He will be so disappointed. Not sure when we're coming home, hopefully yet tomorrow but maybe we'll now have to stay through post-ops next week.
